a four door El Camino/camper. brilliant! WIN!
You said it! When I saw this picture, I was like, “I could die. I could just die right here!!” Hmm…did that come off as sounding a little too rehearsed?
It doesn’t sound rehearsed, but it does sound tense.
Also a little campy.
ya
i love el caminoes
this one just needs more paint
can anyone say rat rod?
lol i like rat rods two
total win
You’re all Jackasses. This is not a Hearse, but you could probably fit a midget coffin back there, if they were under three feet tall.
Also, it is not an El Camino.
Derp, How I failed Engineering History?
This car puts the Fun in Funeral!
Cousin to the wooden pimperfish we have the camperbacked rustbucket.
Note the elegant way this creature carries it’s home with it, taking inspiration from hermit crabs of a less civilized day. When the camperbacked rustbucket outgrows its current camper, it will search for a newer, larger, more gaudy tent to strap on it’s back as shelter. Once it does, it will swap tents, leaving its current one for the next generation of rust-covered camperbacks.
however if it does not, it will be subject to another kludge
Hmm… it DOES look like it would be occupied by a crabby hermit. In fact, this looks to be the type of situation where Shaggy and Scooby would amble by, stopping to ask what’s cooking in the kettle over the campfire. As they’re tasting it, the old codger answers, “Laundry.”
The queen could sense that her days were drawing to a close. She only had enough vitality left to produce a few more eggs that will hatch and grow into valuable members of the colony. One of them, though, will be female and soon take over her illustrious regime.
You ain’t going to no motel lady, this ride has the hydraulic suspension to match the bed at the back.
Now, I’d feel safer sleeping on top of that anthill next to the rattler’s nest in the cave between Momma bear and her cubs.
Post-Apocalyptic dead people gotta get to the cemetery SOMEHOW.
Day 170. We have been on the road for weeks, this makeshift hearse makes the zombies think we are one of them, it has been good so far. We haven’t got into a fight with a zombie in a couple days, well except for the one who made the illegal left turn and almost hit us, but he had that coming. Comeon he pulled out RIGHT in front of us, we almost T-boned him, my guess is someone already ate his brain…. Ugh I dirges, the hearse has been a god send for us, now if only gas wasn’t 7 bucks a gallon…
Anna Rexia, I’ll leave the comment above for you (or someone equally qualified) to enjoy ripping apart in regards to logic, grammar, and so on. If there was one more run-on sentence, I was going to throw MYSELF under that vehicle!
Let it be a lesson to us all, that in the pursuit of and hatred for zombies, one risks resembling one of them in the end.
hey if the little red squiggly line doesn’t appear, all is well with the world. don’t blame me blame firefox
Well, that reasoning explains the ‘dirges’ instead of ‘digress’. Of course, your intent could have been to introduce a pun (which is something absolutely unheard of on this site) into your comment due to the kludge looking like a hearse. I apologize for transferring some of my frustration that happened at work earlier today your way. I also humbly ask in regards to your zombie escape-mobile, “Do you have room for one more?”
I have had a day like that too, the kind of day where I have actually been humming dirges to myself, maybe even due to the power of suggestion prompted by these comments. Looks like there might be room in the backseat, but I’m not calling shotgun if there are going to be zombies.
BTW, @Dogmeat– not unheard of to be unjustifiably rude in here either, just par for the course. Ironically, this was aimed at “Karma,” so I guess we’ll all get ours in time…
The Addams Family meets Sanford And Son.
Hearse for the tallest man in the world needed some…renovations.
The smells in that thing must be fascinating.

Don’t knock it, owner probably had no car payments
1. Ever.
2. And just look at how all that extra money he saved has improved his quality of life.
3. Or insurance payments. Or auto detailing payments. Or KOA campground payments. Or parking ticket payments. Or…
Usually when a human husband/wife decides to go camping the result is a trailer, cabin etc. Surely this is the similar setup when a Caprice Classic marries an El Camino.
What’s a funeral got to with this?
The site’s owners are hoping someone will make the obligatory “Redneck Hearse” comment as this old Chevy Caprice with that camper back looks somewhat (kind of stretching it) like a hearse.
They need a bigger tent if they’re going to spray that rattle trap for bugs.
If the Joads decided to go car camping. . .
Finally Pontiac Aztec owners have someone to make fun of.
It seems like better than usual kludge workmanship, but it’s on a horrendous car. Let’s get this guy (we can assume it’s a guy, yes?) a newer car to work with. Actually that one minivan that had the rear cut off would be perfect. This guy could fashion a nice drop top so those kids can look goofy in all seasons.
And in the end – the stretch cross-over midSize XUV won over the swampland of the midwest – and station wagons were discarded
I drive it to work and stay there “overnight” when I’m working the Graveyard Shift.
“I wouldn’t be caught dead going camping!”
As a guy who does boat canvas for a living, I give this four stars.
On the subject of camping, this is the perfect vehicle to leave at a trail head. No worry about thieves stripping your ride while you are away backpacking.
